Has America ever seen a more authoritarian presidential candidate than Donald Trump? Not since FDR—who seized coal mines and department stores, dictated wages and prices, and even weighed whether he should decree when Americans could eat meat.
But at least FDR had a reason: He was fighting a world war. What’s Trump’s excuse?
One of the great ironies of Trump’s success in the polls is that much of his support comes from people who profess to be angry over Barack Obama’s serial offenses against the Constitution and limited government. It turns out that many of them positively relish the idea of someone who will go even further than Obama has, writes A. Barton Hinkle.
